DuPont Coatings & Color Technologies Group is the world’s leading automotive coatings supplier. It offers high-performance liquid and powder coatings for the automotive OEM, refinish and aftermarket, and general OEM industrial applications, as well as high-performance specialty products. The volume growth of OEM coatings moderated in the second half of 2004 as major auto producers, particularly in the United States, announced production cutbacks to reduce inventories of new cars. DuPont is not active in the architectural coatings market and operates in only selected industrial markets. The group is also the largest manufacturer in the world of titanium dioxide. Sales of coatings worldwide are at $3.98 billion. U.S. sales of coatings are $1.68 billion. DuPont, the parent company, had worldwide sales of $27.38 billion in 2004.
